Last night at the Hudson Theatre, the cast and team of Once Upon A Mattress shared a toast to celebrate Lear deBessonet's new role at Lincoln Center Theater as the Artistic Director. See photos below!

As Artistic Director, deBessonet will be responsible for all programming and season planning; cultivating and maintaining relationships with artists; and oversight and day to day operating of the staff and organization.

An uproarious update of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Princess and the Pea,”  Once Upon A Mattress sets an unapologetic free spirit loose in a repressed kingdom, where Winnifred the Woebegone charms, delights, and dances her way to the top… of a stack of mattresses.   Full of gloriously catchy melodies like “Shy” and “In a  Little While,” the musical first premiered in 1959, with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer, and book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer.
